& Principles

Worship only God
Jesus said “The most important commandment was ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is
one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and
with all your strength.'”

Jesus particularly singled out love of wealth as a false god, and other Bible passages mention
greed, covetousness, arrogance, gluttony and pride as being equivalent to idolatry.
Be Respectful
Jesus said 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these."

‘Christian love’ means respect, affection, benevolence, good-will and concern for the welfare of
the one loved. In His Parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus made the point that we should
extend our Christian love to all people of the world, regardless of race, religion, nationality or
any other artificial distinction.
Be Generous with Time and
Money
The Bible tells us to share generously with those in need, and good things will come to us in
turn.

Each of us has something to offer to someone in need. We can give our money and our time to
charity, be a friend to someone who is sick or lonely, do volunteer work or choose a service-
oriented Occupation.

We may give unselfishly of our time to our spouse, children or parents. This does not mean we
are obligated to share our time or money with people who are clearly not in need but just want
to use or abuse us
Practice what you Preach
According to the Bible, it is not the things we say that really matter; it is the things that we do. If we
claim to be Christians but do not let Jesus' teachings guide our lives, we are nothing but hypocrites.

When the Pharisees forgot the true spirit and intent of the law and became self-indulgent, self-
righteous, snobbish, and greedy. That led Jesus to remarks such as, Woe to you, teachers of the law
and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside
but on the inside are full of dead men's bones and everything unclean. In the same way, on the
outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
Don’t be Self-Righteous
We are all sinners in one way or another. Living a moral life means taking responsibility for
controlling our own behavior.

If we say or even think we are better than people we consider to be "sinners," we are guilty of
the sin of self-righteousness.

It is not our right to look down on, criticize, judge, condemn, or try to control other people.
Judgment is to be left to God.
Don’t Hold a Grudge
Jesus said there is no place for hatred, holding a
grudge, revenge, retaliation or getting even in the life
of a Christian.

A grudge destroys the grudge-holder with bitterness,

and revenge only escalates hostilities.

Jesus told us we must reconcile with our adversaries,

forgive their transgressions, and let go of the anger
that may tempt us to commit an act of revenge.
Humility
Humility or being humble is a quality of being courteously respectful of others.

Acting with humility does not in any way deny our own self worth. Rather, it affirms the inherent
worth of all persons.

Humility is exactly what is needed to live in peace and harmony with all persons. It dissipates
anger and heals old wounds. It allows us to see the dignity and worth of all God's people.
Humility distinguishes the wise leader from the arrogant power-seeker.
Honesty
Honesty and integrity are held as very important
values throughout the Bible, and any deception to
gain an advantage or harm another is prohibited by
the Ten Commandments and other Bible passages.

According to the Bible, Rationalization is a form of

self-deception by which we convince ourselves
that sinful actions are justified in order to achieve a
good result, but this is really just another form of
dishonesty.

Deception may be by false statements, half-truths,

innuendo, or failing to tell the whole truth.
Morality
Jesus gave a list of actions that constitute immoral uses of the body: evil thoughts, murder,
adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy,
arrogance and foolishness.

We often think of morality in terms of sexual sins, but according to Jesus, sins such as slander,
greed, covetousness, deceit, and arrogance are equally immoral.
Forgiveness
The Bible is full of verses to help us understand how completely God forgives those who
confess and believe in his son Jesus.

If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you refuse
to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins. God is merciful and forgives our sins and
failings. In the same way, we must be merciful and forgive other people who sin against us or do
us harm.
